 PREFACE
The main motivation of undertaking this project was to
provide the detailed and comprehensive study about the
FUN Camp as a program. This study provides the
opportunity to Pravah to know the perspective of the
students about the FUN Camp as a program. It is also of
immense use to launch the program with other schools.
The report has been organized into four parts. Part I deals
with the detailed overview about the NGOs which are in
operational in India. Part II provides is brief introduction
about the organization- Pravah. The third part is
conclusive of discussions and feedback from the students
and based on that findings and suggestions are been
inculcated in last part.
I owe my sincere thanks to everyone who helped me in
doing this project. It was a fun and also a learning
experience for me. I hope the knowledge and experience
gained while undertaking this project will help me in my
future endeavors in one way or the other.

NGO (Non Governmental

Organization)
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is an organization that is not part of
a government and was not founded by states. NGOs are therefore typically
independent of governments. Although the definition can technically include
for-profit corporations, the term is generally restricted to social, cultural,
legal, and environmental advocacy groups having goals that are primarily
noncommercial. NGOs are usually non-profit organizations that gain at least
a portion of their funding from private sources. Current usage of the term is
generally associated with the United Nations and authentic NGOs are those
that are so designated by the UN.

Page | 7
Because the label "NGO" is considered too broad by some, as it might cover
anything that is non-governmental, many NGOs now prefer the term private
voluntary organization (PVO).

A 1995 UN report on global governance estimated that there are nearly

29,000 international NGOs. National numbers are even higher: The United
States has an estimated 2 million NGOs, most of them formed in the past 30
years. Russia has 65,000 NGOs. Dozens are created daily. In Kenya alone,
some 240 NGOs come into existence every year.

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is the world's
largest group of humanitarian NGO's.

Though voluntary associations of citizens have existed throughout history,

NGOs along the lines seen today, especially on the international level, have
developed in the past two centuries. One of the first such organizations, the
International Committee of the Red Cross, was founded in 1863.

Types of NGOs
There are numerous possibilities to classify NGOs. The following
is the typology the World Bank uses.

Operational NGOs

Their primary purpose is the design and implementation of

development-related projects. One categorization that is
Page | 8
 frequently used is the division into relief-oriented or
developmentoriented organizations; they can also be classified
according to whether they stress service delivery or participation;
or whether they are religious and secular; and whether they are
more public or private-oriented. Operational NGOs can be
community-based, national or international.

Advocacy NGOs

Their primary purpose is to defend or promote a specific cause. As

opposed to operational project management, these organizations
typically try to raise awareness, acceptance and knowledge by
lobbying, press work and activist events.

Important Features of NGOs

Purposes

NGOs exist for a variety of purposes, usually to further the

political or social goals of their members. Examples include
improving the state of the natural environment, encouraging the
observance of human rights, improving the welfare of the

Page | 9
disadvantaged, or representing a corporate agenda. However,
there are a huge number of such organizations and their goals
cover a broad range of political and philosophical positions. This
can also easily be applied to private schools and athletic
organizations.

Methods

NGOs vary in their methods. Some act primarily as lobbyists,

while others conduct programs and activities primarily. For
instance, such an NGO as Oxfam, concerned with poverty
alleviation, might provide needy people with the equipment and
skills they need to find food and clean drinking water.

Networking
The International Freedom of Expression exchange (IFEX),
founded in 1992, is a global network of more than 60 non-
governmental organizations that promote and defend the right to
freedom of expression.

Consulting

Many international NGOs have a consultative status with United

Nations agencies relevant to their area of work. As an example,
the Third World Network has a consultative status with the UN
Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the UN
Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). In 1946, only 41 NGOs
had consultative status with the ECOSOC, but this number had
risen to 2,350 in 2003.

Management of non-governmental organizations

Two management trends are particularly relevant to NGOs:

diversity management and participatory management. Diversity
Page | 10
management deals with different cultures in an organization.
Intercultural problems are prevalent in Northern NGOs that are
engaged in developmental activities in the South. Personnel
coming from a rich country are faced with a completely different
approach of doing things in the target country. A participatory
management style is said to be typical of NGOs. It is intricately
tied to the concept of a learning organization: all people within
the organization are perceived as sources for knowledge and
skills. To develop the organization, individuals have to be able to
contribute in the decision making process and they need to learn.

Relations

The relationship among businesses, governments, and NGOs can

be quite complex and sometimes antagonistic. Some advocacy
NGOs view opposition to the interests of Western governments
and large corporations as central to their purpose. But NGOs,
governments, and companies sometimes form cooperative,
conciliatory partnerships as well.

Staffing

Not all people working for non-governmental organizations are

volunteers. Paid staff members typically receive lower pay than in
the commercial private sector. Employees are highly committed
to the aims and principles of the organization. The reasons why
people volunteer are usually not purely altruistic, but self-serving:
They expect to gain skills, experience and contacts.

 Funding
Large NGOs may have annual budgets in the millions of dollars.
For instance, the budget of the American Association of Retired
Persons (AARP) was over $540 million dollars in 1999. Human
Rights Watch spent and received US$21, 7 million in 2003.
Funding such large budgets demands significant fundraising
efforts on the part of most NGOs. Major sources of NGO funding
include membership dues, the sale of goods and services, grants
from international institutions or national governments, and
private donations. Several EU-grants provide funds accessible to
NGOs. Even though the term 'non-governmental organization'
implies independence of governments, some NGOs depend
heavily on governments for their funding.

Legal status

The legal form of NGOs is diverse and depends upon homegrown

variations in each country's laws and practices. However, four
main family groups of NGOs can be found worldwide:
Unincorporated and voluntary association. Trusts, charities and
foundations. Companies not just for profit. Entities formed or
registered under special NGO or nonprofit laws.

NGOs are not subjects of international law, as states are. An

exception is the International Committee of the Red Cross, which
is subject to certain specific matters, mainly relating to the
Geneva Convention.

ABOUT SRYEA
SRYEA - Society for Rural & Youth Educational Advancement is the
largest non governmental organisation working to provide quality
education to the underprivileged children of Jharkhand. Sryea was
established on 21st November 2009 to provide education to the children
in the slums of Dumka and all over jharkhand. Since then, the
organization has grown both in scope and geographical coverage. Today
we reach out to millions of children living both in rural and urban areas
through a range of interventions.
Realizing this, SRYEA, beginning in the corridors of education, has
adopted a lifecycle approach with intensive programmes focused on
Page | 13
family health, livelihood and women empowerment, which address the
needs of children, their families and the larger community.
The organization has primary focus on providing quality Education
along with vocational training and skilling initiatives, ensuring health
care facilities (preventative, promotive & curative), enhancing livelihood
facilities for people, eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, ensuring
social inclusion and justice, good governance and citizens right. Helping
communities through social welfare measures, providing training and
other capacity building support to communities and carrying out
research and advocacy in favour of the poor people. Education, Health,
Livelihoods, Environment, Disaster Response and Mitigation, Gender
Equity, Child and women Rights and Protection, Water and Sanitation
are its major areas of work. youth Charitable Trust works at both the
grassroots level directly with communities and through NGOs partners.
It is working with excluded groups, rural and urban communities,
institutions and civil society organizations, standing with people in their
struggle and suffering towards a bettersociety.
SRYEA has a dedicated team of volunteers who give of their time, skills
and effort to make a difference in the lives of the poor and
disadvantaged people. They come from different walks of life
professionals, teachers, medical care-givers united in their desires to
make differences in the lives of people. Youth Charitable Trust is deep-
rooted with communities and people, learning from people actions and
building on alternatives, engaged in varied roles, as a support to needy,
destitute and vulnerable groups and communities.
While debating on various socio-economic challenges to the society the
core team members of SRYEA realized the value of Education and it is
the most valuable asset that can make life better, smoother and
progressive. So it gave them an idea to work on the issues pertaining to
education. Then the term "Quality Education" got highlighted in their
minds. The wishes got a shape and the journey started to ensure quality
technical education to the aspirants. It is just like one side of the coin.
The Educational initiatives are not only confined to it. With an aim to
spread education among poor, tribal and other deprived groups it started
helping many poor students in terms of cash and kind support,

computer education to the rural deprived students. It also worked in
urban slums to ensure that students are getting educational facilities.

We believe that Sustainability and ownership of development interventions by
communities is possible only after organizing and empower the vulnerable
groups through community mobilization and encourage them to utilize the
available resources. Jharkhand is the land of forest, well known as black
diamond and cheap labour. The availability of natural and human resources
should be utilized properly
